Many require that you give up virtually all carbohydrates--not only favorites like bread
and pasta, but healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Such low-carb diets are
nutritionally unsound, alarmingly low in calories and nutrients, and dangerously high in heart-harming fat.

But breakthrough research into how and why low-carb diets work shows that limiting the intake
of carbohydrates can lead to safe, healthy weight loss--if it's done right. Packed with delicious
recipes, this book doesn't ask you to eliminate carbohydrates completely. Nor does it foolishly
recommend feasting on pork rinds and butter, as some low-carb diets do.

In short, there's a low-carbohydrate eating plan that works in the real world. It allows you many of your favorite foods, like pasta, grains, and potatoes. It contains adequate calories, so you don't experience hunger pangs or miss out on important nutrients. And it isn't dangerously high in fat, so you won't increase your risk of developing heart disease.

Nor will you miss out on taste. One look at the recipes will convince you of that.
